Answer:

5 weeks

$175

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill owes his mother $300 and plans to pay her $25 every week.

Therefore, after w weeks he has to give her mother more C = 300 - 25w, amount of money.

Steve owes his mother $550 and plans to pay her $75 every week.

Therefore, after w weeks he has to give her mother more C = 550 - 75w, amount of money.

If after w weeks they both will owe their mother the same amount of money, then

300 - 25w = 550 - 75w

⇒ w = 5 weeks. (Answer)

Now, the amount of money will be $(300 - 25 × 5) = $175. (Answer)

Write and evaluate the definite integral that represents the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region about the x-axis

guapka [62]

Answer: V = $\frac{64}{3}\pi$

Step-by-step explanation: A solid formed by revolving the region about the x-axis can be considered to have a thin vertical strip with thickness Δx and height y = f(x). The strip creates a circular disk with volume:

V = $\pi. y^{2}.$ Δx

Using the <u>Disc</u> <u>Method</u>, it is possible to calculate all the volume of these strips, giving the volume of the revolved solid:

V = $\int\limits^a_b {\pi. y^{2} } \, dx$

Then, for the region generated by y = - x + 4:

V = $\int\limits^4_0 {\pi.(-x+4)^{2} } \, dx$

V = $\pi.\int\limits^4_0 {(x^{2}-8x+16)} \, dx$

V = $\pi.(\frac{x^{3}}{3}-4x^{2}+16x )$

V = $\pi.(\frac{4^{3}}{3}-4.4^{2}+16.4 - 0 )$

V = $\frac{64}{3}.\pi$

The volume of the revolved region is V = $\frac{64}{3}.\pi$

Write an equation for the following: y varies directly with x and z. Find K when x=2, y=12 and z=5.

olga_2 [115]

$\qquad \qquad \textit{direct joint variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x} and \underline{z}}~\hspace{8.5em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xz~\hfill } \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}, }w^2\textit{ and }z^5~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xw^2z^5~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$y = kxz\qquad \textit{we know that} \begin{cases} x=2\\ y=12\\ z=5 \end{cases}\implies 12=k(2)(5) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12}{(2)(5)}=k\implies \cfrac{6}{5}=k~\hspace{10em}\boxed{y=\cfrac{6}{5}xz}$

NEED HELP Find values for a, b, c, and d so that the following matrix product equals the 2X2 identity matrix. Explain or show ho

ehidna [41]

We want to find the values of a, b, c, and d such that the given matrix product is equal to a 2x2 identity matrix. We will solve a system of equations to find:

b = 1
a = -1
c = -2
d = -1

<h3>Presenting the equation:</h3>

Basically, we want to solve:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&2\\a&1\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cc}b&c\\1&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

The matrix product will be:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-b + 2&-c + 2d\\a*b + 1&a*c + d\end{array}\right]$

Then we must have:

-b + 2 = 1

This means that:

b = 2 - 1 = 1

b = 1

We also need to have:

a*b + 1 = 0

we know the value of b, so we just have:

a*1 + b = 0

a = -1

Now the two remaining equations are:

-c + 2d = 0

a*c + d = 1

Replacing the value of a we get:

-c + 2d = 0

-c + d = 1

Isolating c in the first equation we get:

c = 2d

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

-(2d) + d = 1

-d = 1

d = -1

Then:

c = 2d = 2*(-1) = -2

c = -2

So the values are:

b = 1
a = -1
c = -2
d = -1

A triangle has two sides that measure 4ft and 3ft. Which could be the measure of the third side?

Nezavi [6.7K]

The measure of the third side must be less than the sum of the other two. That property is valid for all triangles.

For this question, call x the measure of the third side. So you must have

x < 4 + 3

x < 7 ft

The only option that satisfies the condition above is

option A) 5 ft.

I hope this helps. =)
